Boden Fashion Show Recap

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a Boden fashion show at the Langham Hotel in Boston. My mum and I enjoyed delicious tea, sandwiches, scones and sweets while watching the show. We also had fun poking through the Boden pop-up shop. Many of the pieces were featured in the show, flaunting bright colors and patterns in classic silhouettes. Here are a few photos from the event:

One thing I especially enjoyed about the show was the use of real moms and children as models. Not only were the models' outfits impeccably styled, but they also looked comfortable and wearable in an everyday setting. The bright-colored pieces and patterns were playful yet sophisticated and modern, which was refreshing for a family clothing line. A few of my favorite pieces included the British Soldier printed Sweater, Jersey Jacquard Skirt and Mary Jane Heels, but look out for another post with more faves!

I wore a Gap fit and flare dress to the tea and show, or as my mum would say, my "big girl party dress." Since the fashion show was a family event in celebration of Prince George's 1st birthday, there were lots of little kiddos in attendance. That means there was lots of pink, purple, tulle and sequins. This dress is basically the adult version of that, so I guess I was on point with the dress code.

Overall the Boden fashion show made for a lovely afternoon, and I unknowingly ended up on the news that night because of it, ha! Be sure to check out Boden's new Autumn collection on their website!
